, relation between the collar 46 and the spindle and that this adjustment is accurately made dur- Upon'theco1lar46 is rigidly mounted a disc 54 which carrieson its under side a disc. 55 of insulating material. I Upon the under side of the disc 55 are mounted two conducting rings 56 and 51 v vhicl' are secured in, p'osition by lead-out ele q ments 58 and 59 respectively, which extend upwardly'throughthe disc 55 and are located within cutoutsfil], On theunder' side of the disc 55'is mounted anabutment members! which is adapt.- I r edto engage'any of the pins 62' (Fig. 21); which1 may be displaced upwardly. It will be understood that when such. engagement; occurs, the disc 54 is"held stationaryj likewise the rod 143 and the C onsequently, the shaft 33 will be located in a definiteposition withone, of the arms 39 directed towards the stack of the records, this being the g onlyarmtil whichis inefiectivepositioni Theconnection is such that the particular arm 39 which 1 is inoperative position corresponds to the particug lararresting pin-M. Upontheupper side of the disc 54 is mounted a relay 63 which is connected to II the rings 56 and 51 :by means of one ofthe lead- I out elements 58 and one of 'the' lead-out elements 59. II II I When the relay 63' isenergized, its armature 64 (Fig. 18) moves downwardly and forces a pin 65 downwardly. V The pin 65 is guided in an opening in a bracket 65 andin' an opening 51 which extends through the'discsfi l and 55. As'best seen 15 which are supported between twoplatesfi and in Figure 24, the opening 6 is located immediately I ahead of the eifective portion of the abutment 61.

Consequently, when the disc 54 is arrested by the engagement of the abutment E! with an upwardlydisplaced pin- 62 as shown in Figure 21, tl lepin 65'is in alignment with the eflective pin 762; The pin 65 is biassed upwardly by means of a coil spring 68 which'bears against the disc 54 ahd against' a collar 69 rigidly mounted on the I pin 65; 1

' The bracket 66 serves as'a stop for the pin 55 since it is engaged by the collar 69 in thenormal lower plate 1! and its upperend engages 40 The armature positionof the pin 65. i It will be understoodwith referenceto Figure .21 that when the reuygsa is energizedthe pin 65 is moved downwardly and the upwardly displaced pin 62 in alignmenttherewith is moved downwardly to normal'position.

p It may here be noted thatlthe shaft 38 is driven by the movement to the right of a bar Ill which is actuated by a cam]! onfthe camshaft 34'. The

operative connectionbetween the'bar Ill and the shaftt'jfilneed not be described in detail; I I I I i that the movement of the It may be remarked barilfl to the right as VieWedin Figure-Z, causes the shaft 38 to rotate in the clockwise direction as viewed from above in Figure 2, that'this drive includes a friction element which enables the bar the shaft38 and the result is that abutment 6| is given an additionalslight movement the clockwise directionso that it is movedpast the position of the pin 62 which had stoppedit and into a position between that pin'62 and the next pin '62 in the clockwise direction.

This slight movement of the abutment BI is very importantsince it insures patronsof hearing the selection which they desire; Thus, if, one. j selection is extremely popular, a large number of patrons might keep selecting that particular re cording, and thus if a coinwere inserted and-the appropriate pin 62' were pushed upwardly, itwo'uld be possible to keep the phonograph operating while preventing the shaft 38 from turning at all.

Other patrons who made selections, causing other pins '62 to mpve upwardly, would not. get their selection.

'-However, the slight'movernent of the. shaft 33;;

and consequently of the abutmentfil past the pin 62 which last arrested the abutment 6i, insures that the selections corresponding to the other pins 62' which may have been moved upwardlyby selecting operationsfwill be played before the last played record will be repeated.

, Thepins 62' which correspond in number to the number of sliding frames 32*and consequently to the number of-records inthe phonograph, are ar-' rangedin a circle being located within bushings M for free axial movement; The bushings 14 are 'located'in the upperends of a series of solenoids 11 as best seen in Figure21.

} The bushings 14 are secured to the upper-plate 16 so as'to depend-therefrom Each solenoidl5 comprises an internal brass :s'leeve 18around; which the winding is located: The; sleeve 18 pro-" an opening, in the 1 jects downwardly through the under side of the upper plate 16., I v V The pins 62 are of non-ferrous material. These pins 62 rest upon the armatures of the solenoids. consists of an iron rod 19, the lower end of which is reduced, as shown at 80. This reduced lower end 80 carries a collar 8| of insulating material and a collar 82, of metal. The

collar 82 is preferably-waisted so as tocooperate I with a coil spring 83 in the manner shown at the right-hand side of Figure 21. U r

"'Inits normal condition, the armature 19. oo-

cupies the position shown in the'left-handside offFigu'r'e 21. "It willbe noted that in this relation, the'armature is insulated from the spring V 83. When the solenoid 15, is energizedthe arma-l 7 position by lilto move when theshaft'3'8 is 'held against 60' movement by one of the pins -62, and that one-way clutch means are providedin the drive so that the bar H1 may move'tothe' left as viewed in Figure 2. without affecting the shaft 38.

Itis to be noted that theicam H is provided with-a small projection 12 located onsits lower or'innermost' rest. The projection 12 is so arranged. that it engages the cam roller I3, which is carried by the bar Ill. after the bar in has moved to the left. and after the-relay 63 has been energized to discharge the pin 62 which has arrested the shaft, 38; Conseouently. the projection 12 1 .move 'the bar 10 slightly-to thejright and immediatelvallowsit to .rnove t the left Thi S Sl h movement to theright causes a slight rotation'of ture l9 moves upwardly into the position shown in the "right-hand side of Figure 21, raisingthe pin 62 into position to cooperate with the abute The armature is held in this elevated I the engagement of the spring 83 with the waisted surface of the collar 82, Consequently; the pin 52 remains elevated until it is push-ed downwardly by the pm $5 in the manner previously described.

, The solenoids are mounted'upon a housing 84 by means of-bolts and spacing members 85. Thesebolts and spacing members also serveto jsupportbelowthe plate H and in spaced relation thereto, a plate 86 of insulating materiaL.

The plate 86, is provided with a central opening" as shown in Figure 20 around which are arranged contact pieces 81 corresponding to the individual records. These contact pieces are connected t'oj the individual solenoids 15.

Between the-plates J1 and 86 are mounted two plates 88'and 89"which are'supported fromthe I i assesses 1i tionbetween them of the spring 83.1'previously referred to. It will thus be seen that when one' ormore of the armatures I9 is in its elevated position, that is the position shown in the righthand side of Figure 21, the plates B8and 89 are electrically ,connected through one or more-of gI'Olllld-.- When none of of the solenoids; that is, the ends'other than the conductorsleeves 82 to one or moreof the armatures I9 and through these{armatures-.to 1 p 7 i jclose-a-switchjl20and open a switch I2l.
